I started working on that when the temperature was in the low 50&#8217;s which pointed me to riding Zwift if it didn&#8217;t warm up by 11 AM or so. Tuesday is a short window day because I play dominoes with a group. with that in mind I decided to ride Zwift. Opening Zwift Makuri Islands was one world to choose from. Scrolling through the routes one that I had not done (according to Zwift) was Chasing The Sun. Not too long, 21.8 miles, but with extra climbing at 1034 feet. The big climb was the Temple KOM, a category 4 mountain. Back on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/30678844\">March 13th<\/a><\/strong> I started this route (according to SportTracks) but must have moved off course and did not earn the Zwift badge. Going up Temple KOM some of the gradients hit 10% and I was out of the saddle. My legs got a workout and were tired when I finished the ride. I achieved a number of Strava segment awards. The Strava profile map doesn&#8217;t portray the steepness of the KOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
